Road Safety Barriers by Anton Solutions – Elevating Protection on Every Mile
Safety barriers prevent thousands of accidents every year from turning fatal. These crucial structures contain errant vehicles and greatly and substantively reduce the seriousness of off-road collisions. From absorbing impacts and shockwaves in an accident to catching barriers that redirect errant vehicles, Anton Solutions leads in highway safety engineering. We offer a wide range of advanced road safety barriers that are specifically designed for the protection of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. Our barriers ensure safer travel on roads, highways, and bridges because of their innovative design and reliable performance. Using advanced materials and rigorous crash testing, Anton Solutions has set the standard for road safety.
Selection of the proper safety barrier is crucial for traffic management and accident prevention. Each barrier type is designed to meet specific road challenges for maximum protection. Understanding the unique needs of each road environment, we have been able to provide tailored solutions that go a long way in enhancing overall road safety. Anton Solutions offers three main types of highway guardrails designed to serve various environments and conditions:
Flexible Barriers
Flexible barriers, such as high-tension cable barriers, dissipate energy through deflection. They offer a cushioning effect where there is a reduction in the amount of damage imparted to the vehicle and minimal severe crashes. Such barrier types are appropriate for places where controlled deflection is permissible.
Semi-Rigid Barriers
Semi-rigid barriers strike a balance between flexibility and rigidity. Examples are the W-Beam systems, which can contain and redirect vehicles while offering some deflection. This type of barrier is appropriate for those locations where both redirection and minimum deflection are required.
Rigid Barriers
Rigid barriers, like concrete walls, provide the highest containment and redirection with minimal or no deflection. They are used in high-impact zones, such as bridges and roadways that have limited lateral space, where maximum protection is vital.
The performance of road safety barriers is an outcome of advanced engineering combined with strategic design. Anton Solutions tests each system against rigid safety standards while addressing specific road challenges.
Crashworthiness and Testing Standards Our crash barriers undergo thorough testing to meet international standards, such as the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) and NCHRP Report 350. For instance, the Ezy-Guard 4 system meets MASH Test Level 3 (TL3) requirements, having been tested with vehicles ranging from an 1100kg car to an 8000kg truck. This extensive testing ensures our barriers handle various vehicle types and crash conditions.
Deflection and Energy Absorption Our barriers, like the Ezy-Guard 4, are designed to manage deflection during an impact. For example, under MASH TL3, the dynamic deflection is 1.65 meters, which absorbs much of the energy and reduces the chances of rollovers or serious damage. The Z-post design bends to absorb impact energy, offering a smoother ride-down for vehicle occupants.
Material Composition and Durability Made from high-quality hot-rolled steel, our barriers are hot dip galvanized to endure harsh environmental conditions. The Ezy-Guard 4’s sturdy construction and flexible Z-posts ensure long-lasting performance and effective energy absorption, enhancing both barrier function and occupant safety.
Advanced Barrier Systems for Different Applications
Bridge Barriers:
These barriers protect critical bridge structures, such as piers and abutments, against high-impact collisions. Our bridge barriers are engineered to provide maximum containment while reducing the risk of vehicles entering sensitive bridge areas.
Roadside and Median Barriers
Our barriers are designed for both roadside and median installations, offering effective containment for a variety of road situations. Systems, like the Four Wire System tested to NCHRP 350 TL-4, are built to handle high-speed impacts, ensuring safety for medians and road edges.
Sand Mitigation Barriers
In areas prone to sand encroachment, like desert highways, our sand mitigation barriers help maintain road visibility and safety. These barriers are crafted to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring they stay effective over time
Top Reasons to Trust
Superior Crash Protection: Our barriers meet top safety standards like MASH and NCHRP 350. Designed to handle different vehicles and speeds, they protect drivers and passengers by containing and redirecting vehicles during collisions.
Fast Setup and Low Maintenance: Barriers like the Ezy-Guard 4 are easy to install, saving time and money. With fewer parts, they need less upkeep, which means fewer roadside repairs and lower maintenance costs, keeping roads safer.
Durable and Long-Lasting: Our strong steel barriers, with a special coating, resist rust and endure harsh weather and tough conditions. The Z-post design helps absorb impact, improving the barrier’s strength and overall lifespan.
Flexible for Different Roads: Our barriers work in all kinds of environments, from highways to city streets. Whether the road is rough or smooth, our systems offer flexible solutions that fit a variety of road safety needs.
